Now the spring is finally here, we can finally look forward to getting out into the garden and planning for the year ahead. Why not take the plunge and turn a dreary or unused area of the garden into a water feature or pond? This could be a small, natural wildlife pond planted with Caltha Palustris for some early season colour and some lovely variegated grasses or rushes to give the impression of height and structure. For those that have been bitten by the koi bug and like to gaze at the many myriad of colours of these beautiful fish, perhaps a purpose built pond with the necessary filtration to enable them to thrive and grow ever larger would be more suitable. Alternatively, a water feature placed on or near the patio can give a soothing sound as you relax in the evening after a hard days work. Here at Waterwise we stock a vast array of water features ranging from contemporary stain-less steel balls and sheer water descents to beautiful multi tier fountains cast from stone. If it involves water in the garden then Waterwise is here to help. We can advise on all forms of water features and ponds and can even give you a bespoke design built around your requirements. Why not come into our showroom at Poplar Nurseries and speak to one of our friendly, knowledgeable members of staff. You can contact us by calling 01206 212310 or email at waterwise@idfreenet.co.uk
